I STAND FOR COOKING VESSELS I Filed Oct. 24, 1940 [Ill 7Q I PatentedJune 6, 1944 STAND FOR COOKING VESSELS Margarete Hendel, Leipzig,Germany; vested in the Alien Property Custodian Application October 24,1940, Serial No. 362,559% In Germany October 17, 1938 1 Claim. (Cl.126214) This invention relates to a stand for supporting cooking vesselson cooking apparatus equipped with a burner and operated by a flameproduced I by gas, etc., and has for its object to provide a stand of atype capable of preventing accidents due to the extinction of the flameby overflowing cooking material and the consequent outflow of gas, etc,and also soiling of the burner.

The stand according to the invention substantially comprises twopreferably conical rings arranged one within the other on differentlevels and interconnected by bridges, so that the flame can pass betweenthe rings and heat also the sides of a vessel placed on the stand thusformed. Having a free outlet, the flame is moreover fanned by the air ina particularly favorable manner.

Compared with the known devices of this class, the stand according tothe invention afiords the advantage that the flame is not held back bythe bottom of the vessel to be heated and that owing to the arrangementof the outer ring supporting the vessel and acting as screening memberon a higher level than the inner ring overflowing or spilled material isabsolutely prevented from splashing inwardly and reaching the burner.

One form of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, inwhich Fig. 1, a partial view of a stand according to the invention forsupporting a vessel placed on the top thereof;

Figs. 2 and 3 are partial views of modifications of the stand shown inFig. 1;

Fig. 4 is a section of Fig. 2; and

Fig. 5 is a section of Fig. 3.

The stand shown in Figs. 1 to 5 comprises two preferably conical rings,the outer ring l3 or deflecting member being positioned slightly higherthan the inner ring l4, and the outer ring being arranged to rest uponthe stove top around the burner opening as shown in Figure 4; or theinner ring being provided with slots Hi to receive the bars l8 of thestove top as shown in Figure 5, whereby the stand is supported on thecooking apparatus. Both rings l3, M are connected on top by preferablyangular bridges [5 which have fiat upper surfaces assisting insupporting a vessel. The flame sweeping outwardly between the two rings[3, I4 is fanned by the air current and heats also the sides of thevessel. The outer ring l3 may also have a flat top.

As indicated in Figs. 2 and 4, the inner ring l4 may be downwardlyextended to form a cylindrical screening member l6 which surrounds theburner and thus affords increased protection. In this case, the standrests with its outer ring I3 on the cooking apparatus.

In the construction shown in Figs. 3 and 5 the inner ring I4 is alsomade broader and surrounds the burner like a funnel. In its screeningwall I! the ring I4 is provided with slots l8 for en-' gaging the barsl8 of the burner opening.

What is claimed is:

A detachable stand for a gas or similar burner,

said stand comprising outer and inner substantially concentricallyspaced rings, the upper edge of the outer ring being arranged tosupportably engage the bottom of a cooking vessel or the like beingheated over the burner, the inner ring having its upper edge depressedbelow the upper edge of the outer ring, circumferentially spaced anglebrackets spacing and connecting the inner and outer rings with lateralarms of the brackets joined to the outer ring adjacent to its upper edgeand with the lower extremity of the vertical arms of the brackets joinedto the upper edge of the inner ring, the lower part of said inner ringsurrounding the burner in a manner to protect the burner from materialoverflowing from the cooking vessel.
